| Noctis (Video Game) | comment |
Noctis is an open-source space exploration game released in 2000. You play as a Felysian, a cat like sentient species in a Stardrifter, a speedy space ship. The gameplay is mainly exploring the reaches of the universe, and by that it means exploring a galaxy of over seventy billion stars. Aim at a point of light in the sky and you can visit it. There may be planets. They might have an atmosphere. It's possible they support flora, and some even have fauna. A few have structures from previous civilisations. Every part of it procedurally generated, by a program of just under a megabyte (for the first version), by solo developer Alessandro Ghignola.Noctis IV can be downloaded from the developer's very old site, along with the older versions.Nothing to do with the road-tripping prince of Final Fantasy XV. Similar in spirit to No Man's Sky, more or less. | |

Beautiful Void | |
| Noctis (Video Game) / int_18eb5500 | comment |
Beautiful Void: Contains 70 billion stars, all procedurally generated. Precious few have life, and your character is the only sentient being. (The website says that there are other exploration ships around, but it's "fantastically unlikely" that you'll ever meet one. For game purposes, you're the only person in the galaxy.) There's no win condition, and no way of losing except against existentialist angst—just exploration, and wonder at the sheer emptiness of it all. The only time you will see another ship is if you run out of fuel and activate the emergency distress beacon. Another Felysian ship will appear shortly and give you a few grams of fuel to get you on your way, then depart. | |

Palmtree Panic | |
| Noctis (Video Game) / int_1e0878c2 | comment |
Palmtree Panic: Sometimes near the inland seas and oceans a different type of biomes can be found. It has few vegetation and, most notably, much more miniature pools of water surrounded by land. | |

Procedural Generation | |
| Noctis (Video Game) / int_34f5d1da | comment |
Procedural Generation: You explore a galaxy approximately 90 thousand light-years in radius (about double the radius of the Milky Way Galaxy) made of over 78 billion stars, many with planets and moons. If you pick any point in the starfield, you can go there, then land on any rocky planet you find and roam around. All created by a program of under a megabyte. | |

Bleak Level | |
| Noctis (Video Game) / int_3f8ef764 | comment |
Bleak Level: Landing on a Felysian planet during storms or on the dark side of the planet has this kind of effect, if you've seen the same area before the storm or the nightfall came. | |

Gotta Catch Them All | |
| Noctis (Video Game) / int_527fc5fe | comment |
Gotta Catch Them All: Due to the snapshot system in Noctis IV NICE, it's possible to set a goal related to this. Photograph as many of the animals, plants and/or landscapes you can find. By launching oneself up by the jetpack, taking a snapshot downward and then making it into collage, one could make a map of a sizeable portion of the planet. Be warned though, the planet actually spins forward with time, bringing nightfall to necessary parts of the map. Also, being a Felysian, one can engage in the bird-like alien massacre. It's less bloody then it sounds, you simply sneak very close to the bird, and it is brought close to your face, upside down, since you grabbed it with your mouth. It then disappears on the way on your ship. | |

Level Grinding | |
| Noctis (Video Game) / int_549cd62d | comment |
Level Grinding: Without the Omega drive, you will run out of the fuel eventually. Nearing that, you have to find a neutron star (S06). You can acquire a massive amount, but then you'd have to leave the game on for at least four hours. | |

Slippy-Slidey Ice World: Frozen planets, except there's not much to the sliding. The icecaps of the Felysian planets also have some elements of this trope. Also, small archipelagos can be found near icecaps. | |

Space Compression: The game is really vast, but with installed Omega Drive, ability to land of different parts of a planet as well as the trick of moving on the top of your ship, while travelling toward stars or local planets, you have little to worry about. | |

Patchwork Map: When choosing where to land on the planet each area is a little rectangle. On the normal landing roster it's not noticeable, but one can enable the biome filter, which is much more like this trope. | |

Schmuck Bait | |
| Noctis (Video Game) / int_d2c0e2ed | comment |
Schmuck Bait: Trying to land on the planets closest to the sun - lava everywhere. Too far from the star - darkness everywhere. Also trying to fast travel when you've got no omega drive installed. Less dangerous example - running into immobile creatures can rarely cause them to seemingly attack and chase you. However no harm's done due to the lack of a health bar and besides sometimes it's necessary for getting a better snapshot of them. | |
